What boxers train in Marbella?

My mate used to see Fury puffing his way along the Malecón when he was restarting training.

I know there's plenty of others.

Anyone know?

MTK have their gym there.

There's a lovely long jog along the Malecón, plus mountains next door for serious hill work.

Also easy for smuggling drugs from Africa

Meant to be an away camp for MTK but too many distractions in Marbella.

It can't be so that they're isolated from distractions because Marbella is 'Little Britain', but with a lot better weather, so they're bound to be recognised.

It's also major tourist hotspot for everyone else in the world too, so not ideal for seclusion.

I guess it makes a nice change to train in the sun, and to have a laugh with the other boxers (as well as getting away from the Mrs for a week or so).

The boxers can walk around the town as if they are gangsters, and the gangsters can walk around the town as if they are boxers.

If you want to make money, bet against them once they are living out there.

I don't believe that it is being in Marbella that is the reason at all, if a fighter is dedicated enough then they will be able to go over and train properly without getting caught up in all the other stuff that goes down over there.

I've made plenty of money taking them on and will continue to do so this weekend. Jono Carroll to beat Geraghty.
